Vitamin D-related Genes and Metabolic Disorders
Vitamin D Receptor and Megalin Gene Polymorphisms and Their Association With Obesity, Central Obesity and the Metabolic Syndrome
The link between metabolic disturbances and vitamin D receptor (VDR) and MEGALIN (or LRP2) gene polymorphisms remains unclear, particularly among African-American adults. The associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for VDR [rs1544410(BsmI:G/A), rs7975232(ApaI:A/C), rs731236(TaqI:G/A)] and MEGALIN [rs3755166:G/A,rs2075252:C/T, rs2228171:C/T] genes with incident and prevalent metabolic disturbances, including obesity, central obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) were evaluated.
From 1,024 African-Americans participating in the Healthy Aging in Neighborhoods of Diversity across the Life Span (HANDLS, Baltimore, MD, 2004-2013) study, 539 subjects were selected who had complete genetic data as well as covariates selected for metabolic outcomes at two consecutive examinations (visits 1 and 2) with a mean follow-up time of 4.64±0.93y. Haplotype (HAP) analyses generated polymorphism groups that were linked to incident and prevalent metabolic disturbances.

Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- 3,720 baseline participants (mean±SD age(y) of 48.3±9.4, 45.3% men, and 59.1% African-American),
- Genetic data were available on 1,024 African-American participants.
- Incomplete covariate data reduced the sample to n=769, while additional exclusions lead to a sample size ranging between 574 and 598 participants, with 539 having complete data on all baseline and follow-up outcome measures (cross-sectional part of the analysis).
- In the longitudinal analysis, metabolic disturbance-free at baseline participants were selected for each outcome. Sample sizes ranged from n=246 (central obesity-free) to n=466 (hyperglycemia-free).
- There were n=294 MetS-free individuals at baseline.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Whites in HANDLS, since they did not have any genetic data collected.
- All African-Americans in HANDLS without genetic data collected.
- All African-Americans in HANDLS with genetic data collected, who had incomplete data on key outcome variables and/or basic covariates of interest.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Obesity
Time Frame: 2004-2013
|
Obesity was defined as BMI≥30 kg/m2.
|
2004-2013
|
Central Obesity
Time Frame: 2004-2013
|
Central obesity was defined based on waist circumference (WC) ≥ 102 cm or 40 inches (men), ≥ 88 cm or 35 inches (women)
|
2004-2013
|
Metabolic Syndrome
Time Frame: 2004-2013
|
Participants who screened positive on at least 3 of 5 conditions ((1) central obesity (see above); (2) dyslipidemia: TAG≥1.695
mmol/L (150 mg/dl); (3) dyslipidemia: HDL-C<40 mg/dL (male), <50 mg/dL (female); (4) blood pressure≥130/85 mmHg; (5) fasting plasma glucose≥6.1 mmol/L (110 mg/dl).(39))
were classified as MetS-positive (2) Similarly, continuous annual rates of change (Δ) in metabolic outcomes were considered, specifically number of metabolic disturbances (MetD), BMI, WC, SBP, DBP, TAG, HDL-C, and Glucose.
Binary incident outcomes included obesity, central obesity, MetS and other metabolic disturbance (i.e.
hypertension, dyslipidemia-TAG, dyslipidemia-HDL and hyperglycemia).
